MacBook Air M1 trackpad issue

The trackpad on my MB Air M1 is frustrating the heck out of me, and it's not just one issue. Sometimes, it just won't click. Other times, it will click but not drag. And still other times, it will only highlight text and not allow me to click out of it. It's random and, when it starts doing this, sometimes my Magic Mouse will have the same issue. A few times though, I've been able to start using the Magic Mouse and that kind of wakes up the trackpad's functionality, guess it starts feeling insecure about itself or something. Please tell me there's a fix for my possessed trackpad.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
